[Verse 1]
Aboard a train, I met a dame
She was a hipster, man, a real gone dame
She wasn't pretty for New York City
As we strut down on that ol' Fairlane

[Verse 2]
With a heave and a ho, well, I just couldn't let her go
Get along, sweet little woman, get along, be on your way
Get along, sweet little woman, get along, be on your way
With a heave and a ho, well, I just couldn't let her go

[Chorus]
The train kept a-rollin' all night long
The train kept a-rollin' all night long
The train kept a-rollin' all night long
The train kept a-rollin' all night long
With a heave and a ho, I just couldn't let her go

[Verse 2]
We made a stop at Albuquerque
She musta thought I was real gone jerk
We got out the train at El Paso
A-lookin' so good, just couldn't let her go
Get along, sweet little woman, get along
[Chorus]
The train kept a-rollin' all night long
The train kept a-rollin' all night long
The train kept a-rollin' all night long
The train kept a-rollin' all night long
With a heave and a ho, I just couldn't let her go
